What would you do if an electrical surge suppressor caught fire in your data center? Many data center managers are unsure how they would tackle such a disaster. Luckily there are ways to protect your data center from this costly fire emergency.

Every year government agencies and private sector companies lose data centers from electrical fires and it’s not easy to restore services. When a data center fire happens, there’s no power or access to crucial information.

In February an Iowa government data center had an electrical surge suppressor catch on fire ,forcing the government data center to shut down operations.

Luckily the FM-200 system went off and there was no damage to the servers. The government data center was able to get back up and running in a timely fashion.
